Intellectual property law is our core specialization. With properly structured intellectual property protection, we help increase the value of your business.

We make sure you hold all the rights to the products you develop, whether it is designer furniture or security software. We set up your licensing agreements correctly. And we ensure that you remain compliant with AI legislation. We prepare a clear audit of your intellectual property. For investors, we provide due diligence.

Frequently asked questions
What does intellectual property law cover and how can it help my business?
Intellectual property law covers the protection of brands, products, copyrighted works, know-how and trade secrets. Properly set up intellectual property protection increases the value of your business and ensures that the brand and products you invest in are genuinely yours. At the Preegal law firm we cover both brand and product protection, licence agreements, trademarks, and compliance with AI legislation - AI compliance.
Can you obtain a grant for brand protection?
Yes. Through our IP Scan and IP Scan Enforcement service, we help entrepreneurs obtain a grant for brand protection. This support covers an expert intellectual property audit and the subsequent steps for registering and enforcing rights. We will guide you through the entire process, from the application to the practical setup of your brand's protection.
What should I do in the event of plagiarism or copyright infringement?
If plagiarism has occurred or your copyright has been infringed, secure the evidence yourself! As soon as you contact us, we will discuss the situation and, first and foremost, try to resolve it out of court. If that is not possible, we will represent you before the courts and authorities and actively enforce your rights. We also offer mediation services, which can resolve the dispute more quickly and at lower cost.
What is AI compliance and why does my company need it?
AI compliance means ensuring that your business is in line with current AI legislation. We draft contracts for the development of software and artificial intelligence systems so that your rights and obligations in the creation and deployment of AI solutions are clearly covered. This helps you prevent the legal risks associated with the rapidly changing regulation of artificial intelligence.
What legal services do you offer to photographers and creators of audiovisual content?
For photographers and creators of audiovisual content we prepare contracts dealing with copyright, licences, photo and video law, and the use of content on social media. We specialise in protecting copyrighted works and setting up licence terms that protect both your work and your income. We have a long-standing collaboration with professionals from the creative and photography industries. Our lawyer Pavla Nečasová is an active photographer and the founder of the fotopravo.cz project. We also provide training in photography law as part of our academy.
How much does trademark registration cost?
The costs consist of the administrative fee charged by the office and the fee for legal services. The administrative fee for a national application covering 3 classes of goods or services is CZK 5,000, with each additional class of goods and services costing an extra CZK 500. The administrative fee for an EU trademark covering one class of goods or services is EUR 850, the second class is an extra EUR 50, and the third and each subsequent class is an extra EUR 150 per class.

The Preegal law firm provides our manufacturing company with comprehensive support – from corporate and employment law through GDPR to supplier-customer relationships. We appreciate not only the expert advice but also the personal approach of Mgr. Weignerová, who understands the business side of things and delivers the agreed work on time, professionally and efficiently.
In Hanka we found the ideal corporate lawyer - fast, efficient, well versed in IP and IT matters; when needed she goes the extra mile and sensitively weighs up the business and legal needs/aspects. On the basis of this excellent experience she also acts as our family lawyer and, as far as I'm concerned, she has the highest possible recommendation.
Ms. Nečasová has a wonderful gift for explaining legal concepts and situations simply and clearly. She gladly took on all of our questions and very quickly helped clarify the terminology and set up the right procedures. During their training session at our company, it was clear just how well she and her colleague Ms. Krajčíková complement each other.
We have been working with the lawyer Pavla from Preegal.cz for years now and we couldn't be more satisfied – we wouldn't change a thing. On the contrary, we can only recommend her, because she focuses primarily on photography law, so it was a safe bet. We grow together and tackle current topics in photo and video law, social media, and also licences, AI and the future of the digital promotion of products and services that relate to our production and to the running of the MOCUP. SPACE photography studio in Brno. The company is growing and, thankfully, not without properly drafted contracts. We greatly value our cooperation and thank her for it. We look forward to our further meetings.
Thank you for the pleasant cooperation, which helped us resolve many uncertainties regarding both our internal affairs and the building of a new brand. You are always there for us and handle things quickly and efficiently. Above all, we appreciate the comprehensiveness of your perspective on a problem. Although we came to you with a specific contract or document, or a website, you created a universal tool that works for all future cases as well. With our new logo, the building of the website and the development of the brand came further challenges, and we are glad that the Preegal team stands behind us and proposes solutions that will make our work easier in the future too – work we want to devote ourselves to above all, namely staying in contact with our clients. Thanks to you, we can put legal matters out of our minds.
Legal advice on reviewing contracts with business partners and grant agreements, and analysis of the Google TOS terms. The service was flexible, friendly and fast, and the communication was clear. I can recommend the firm with a clear conscience to other companies looking for a reliable legal partner.

Many thanks to the entire Preegal law firm for their meticulous service, which is also extremely fast. They are always there for me whenever I need to consult anything.
